Imposing Supreme recorded his fourth Galway festival victory when landing the Ardilaun Hotel Handicap under Gavin Ryan.
The winner of the corresponding seven-furlong contest in 2021 after scoring over a mile earlier that week, the Alhebayeb gelding was also on target during race week in 2019.
Here, after finishing third over course and distance on Tuesday evening, the 4/1 favourite sat second to Eddie G before mastering that one inside the final furlong for a three-parts of a length victory.
Trainer Tom Gibney said: "It all went very smooth, which you don't always get around here but he had a good draw and it was a little drop in class having run well here on Tuesday. He absolutely loves it here and is a better horse here, and I can't think why.
"We were very worried about the ground but as he is getting older, is handling the easier ground better than he used to. Even though he is a big horse, he likes the tight tracks and we'll tip away now.
"Leonard Kinsella owns him on his own for the past year, he is with me from the start and is a great friend of mine."
